Bottom line, until I can get a new faster computer, will VDL:2 work on my laptop:

1.7 Pentium processor

512 MB ram

Will it work until I can buy a new PC?

It will run, but with 512 of memory, you probably won't be able to load in a full size libary into all 8 channels.

Since I started the testing, I haven't tried it on a slower machine, but I should probably break out my old computer and see what it can handle.
